Doing More in 24...it's how enduramoms function. In 2012, our overall theme will focus on the journey we take in reaching our goals and dreams through the practice of triathlon training and racing. The cherry on the proverbial sundae might be crossing the finish line and receiving a shiny medal, but I challenge your train of thought if you think that's what our sport is all about. When you look back, you begin to realize you've had several mini finish lines to cross in order to reach the big one on your "A" race day. Maybe your mini-finish line involved fitting into a smaller size, the day your little one said "my mommy is really fast", being able to tackle that hill that winded you in week one, or achieving a PR during a training run when you didn't even realize it until you checked your watch or runkeeper stats at the end. The little steps and small victories made are bricks which build your personal empire. Make them count, recognize them when you achieve them, and do a little something special for yourself or with your family to celebrate each achievement. Without the journey, we are simply showing up.

I found a story online today about an athlete names Marianna. She knows it's about the journey.
